IN STARK contrast to the two previous league meetings between the sides, this encounter produced five goals and an abundance of goal mouth action at the Showgrounds on Saturday night.

Battling Home Farm/Everton twice came from behind to get on level terms but were eventually sunk by a Marcus Hallows goal midway through the second half.

Sligo got the lead goal in the 19th minute. Padraig Moran reacted sharply to flick the ball past the advancing Robert Forde.

Karl Gannon put the sides on level terms six minutes later. But Lee Thew claimed his fifth goal of the week to restore Sligo's lead in the 47th minute.
